GotM 165, Mongolia, Deity Hello everyone! This is my absolute first as a GotM designer. Here's a special intro to celebrate it: ------------- For generations, the small tribe of the Mongols had always been a nomadic people, living off what the land could give. But this lifestyle, although...

It is common knowledge that Civ3 is heavily biased toward military-style victories, and the GotM/CotM competitions aren't immune from this bias. If you don't play the warmongerer, you have little to no chance to score high in the scoreboards. My opinion is that the only way to possibly...

I'm very disappointed by C3C. PTW had room for improvement, but with C3C they messed up things so badly that even the good things of it aren't enough to reverse a trend of global suckiness. Therefore, here's a 'bash C3C' thread where anyone can either share my opinion about C3C (that, let's...

It's time for something new... ...a fight for survival... ...the salvage of a lost civilization... ...land to conquer, enemies to fight... ...are you ready?

... to lull enemy imbeciles into friendly open terrain, where they can be properly shelled by artillery units and killed by cavalries, possibly spawning a great leader. After the BBB (Byzantine Babe Bait) and the PBW (Persian Bastard Worker) it's time for the GDK (German Devious Kitchener) to...

In the GotM mod for Vanilla, when you research Mass Production you can build some strange things named "Port of Entry", "Port of Entry 2", ... "Port of Entry 5". If you try to investigate them with the civilopedia you're sent to the description of the offshore platform, but it is obviously a...

I'm interested in what are the different opinions about global warming and what could be the long-term effect on world climate. Feel free to post your point of view, being them environmentalist or skeptic. But please don't post useless slogans or propaganda. Put reasons explaining why you think...

The Rising Sun - Japanese Power Play Vanilla 1.29f, GotM mod, mediterranean resources. Japan, deity level. Standard map, overcrowded (11 civs), continents, bigger landmass. The climate is wet and warm. Barbs are restless, goody huts provide workers instead of settlers. This is nothing...

------------------ PTW 1.27f - Monarch level Standard map, 8 civs Continents, wet, warm, 70% water Sedentary barbs The game will follow the same rules and restrictions of any submitted GOTM. ------------------ Intro (and nothing else for the moment) Game 41 has been my 1st GOTM...

Many people like the Panzer as a german UU. In my opinion, it sucks. Not for the stats, the extra movement is actually quite useful, but because it comes too late. Skilled players (and warmongers in particular) usually end the game well before tanks and panzers are available. Without the...

Ancient age, or medieval age pre-astronomy. Suppose you are the Romans (what else? :D) On a nearby island, connected by sea tiles, there's France. France has the Great Lighthouse, so it can trade via sea tiles. France creates a colony on your island, and build a harbor in it. You build a road...

I think the title is self-explanatory. CD protection are useless. They don't actually prevent illegal cd copying in any way and are only an annoyance for the legitimate player. Civ3 is protected by Safedisc and has a cd-check at the start that prevent you from playing the game unless you've...

--------------------------- INTRO - For 1st time readers --------------------------- This thread was, at first, nothing more than a showoff of a really UGLY start position i had while making test-starts for my (still unfinished) mod. At first, i played the first turns without even having in...

I've recently downloaded and installed the Civ3 FLC Editor by Cyber Dreyk. It's after i saw the behaviour of this application that i felt the need of this post. For Cyber Dreyk: i don't intend to bash on you. I really appreciate your work. The FLC editor is a useful utility. What i strongly...

This happened to me a few months ago, and i'm a little embarassed to talk about it. But surely some civfanatics will have a nice time reading it... Emperor level, late industrial age. I'm the Romans. The french are the superpower. They have the technological lead, the strongest military and...

It's not until recently, when i moved to max difficulty levels, that i dealt with tech stealing. I've noted an interesting fact: if the mission succeds, you are normally allowed to pick one tech from the enemy. But if you choose the tech you're researching on, and have already spent at least a...

Before you ask, the level is deity and the town to the south is the persian capital (Persepolis). Persians are circa 3x my culture. Citizens of antioch are all persians and are NOT resisting. If you count, you see that in Antioch there are 20 military units, not counting cannons, empty armies...

Vanilla civ3, with latest patch. I'm at the very start of modern age, researching fission. I end my turn, then hit <enter>. Among the various events happening, i see a global warming warn message popping up briefly. I mentally take note of the approx. location, then wait for my next turn. Since...

I've found this strategy very effective. It gives me a consistent lead over all the civilizations in a relatively short period of time (assumed i don't have it already, of course). First go for Steam Power. Railroads will increase both production and food. Then go for Industrialization, and...
